What is Fanbox? SPAM

I’ve been encountering a large number of emails sent to my Yahoo! email account from a company called Fanbox. They have a very slick looking web 2.0 interface that claims to be the next evolution in social networking. They are perhaps the most advanced SPAM and Phishing organization I’ve seen to date.
Their developers have clearly spent considerable time reading up on the latest AJAX API examples. They’ve implemented a browser based windows desktop look-a-like that even includes a word processor. And they have many other features to tout as well. Yet, Fanbox is SPAM.
Previously, Fanbox went by another name: SMS.ac. This company was in the business of cross genus SPAM. Utilize text message goodies to help generate large amounts of SPAM to your Inbox. Great scheme, but it looks like it didn’t quite pan out for them, so along comes Fanbox. Or, perhaps it was so successful for them that they wanted to pursue more methods of generating SPAM.
Nonetheless, if you receive an email that looks similar to the following, you might be asking yourself: What is Fanbox?
SPAM. That’s what Fanbox is. Avoid the “fan requests”. Avoid the “questions from Question It”. Avoid the SPAM.
WTF! No way is it alright for one dude to wizz between another two dudes! That's in the Man Law ...
What I have observed is that gas stations seem to watch one another to see how high they can price ...
Gas/service stations are independently franchised and prices are not set by the corporations that own them, but by the franchisee. ...
Chevron is setting a bar for other stations to charge more. Chevron is choosing to do this. I understand ...
Chevron price gouging? No way :-P
The crack down should be on our education system, not Chevron. 
Yeah, I agree with the other post. This so-called university obviously is not a institution of Higher Education.
Is gouging ...
Mindblowing, but sadly very common, and in more contexts than just restaurants. A lot of it, IMO, is simple ...

Yes! this same thing has been happening to me! So aggrivating! I finally went to it, went to my account and deactivated it, so I hope that makes the unwanted emails that are clogging my yahoo account stop!
